David Bowie — Baal Remastered Blu-ray + CD Set
Bowie the Actor — In One of His Most Extraordinary Screen Roles
Before most people knew David Bowie could act, there was Baal. Based on Bertolt Brecht's first play and set in pre-First World War Germany, this 1982 BBC production cast Bowie in the title role of an amoral poet-singer — a character consumed entirely by his own artistic vision, deeply connected to nature, and chillingly indifferent to the emotional damage he leaves in his wake.
Dark, confrontational, and deeply unconventional, Baal is unlike anything else in Bowie's career. It is not a pop star playing a role — it is a committed dramatic performance that reveals a side of Bowie that most fans never fully explored.
New Restoration — Preserved Better Than Ever
This BD-R set presents a brand new restoration of Baal to Blu-ray — improving on every previous home video presentation and preserving the video quality in a format built to last. The original release is now completely out of print, making this restoration the definitive way to own it.
Bonus CD Included
The accompanying CD brings together rare recordings, alternate versions, and soundtrack material drawn from the Christiane F. and Baal eras, alongside contemporary TV and promo recordings from the same period — a genuine archival companion to the film that adds real depth to the overall set.
